OT: Tool's Drummer sports Novak Jersey

According to sources, Tool's drummer Danny Carey sported a Zack Novak jersey while performing with the band in Toledo on Tuesday. Nice to see Tool supporting the Michigan basketball team! and in Ohio nonetheless! People on toolshed.down.net are commenting on this.

Also, according to a paywalled Scout.com article (I do not have membership), Novak tweeted to Danny Carey thanking him for donning his jersey.

what you guys dont know is that i am actully danny carey and i knoew i was going to be wearing a novak jersey when i posted a thread about us playing in toledo a few months ago. even though your sites mods deleted the post i decided not to hold it against you

Good to know. I'm disappointed that I really got into them right around the time they broke up, so I'll never be able to see them live. And yep, six years since the last TOOL album, and I fear their next one will be their last. Those guys are getting old.

Yeah, same with me. I really got into them right before their last tour. And I almost drove 5 hours to see them open for the Melvins on that tour, but decided against it, thinking "these doods tour constantly, I'll get another chance."

Two weeks later, they announced their breakup and that this was their last tour.

Moral of the story: Always drive 5 hours for a concert if that is your first instinct.

I've seen them 3 or 4 times. Danny Carey typically sports a KU jersey or sometimes a Lakers one as he is from Kansas and now lives in LA. He's a huge hoops fan and that is quite an honor for Mr. Novak, IMHO.

but getting pics will be difficult. Tool is pretty serious about their no pics policy. I saw them from the front row (center) at Red Rocks here in Denver and the security guys were pretty busy that night.

I was at the show and didnt even realize it. To be fair, it was dark and I was in the nosebleeds on the opposite side of the arena, but that's awesome. He's one of the best drummers in the world and it was a great show.

I was at the Toledo show. That was my 22nd Tool show I'm pretty sure. I went to 7 or 8 of them on the Lateralus tour. Now I have a wife and kids so it's 1 and done for me on this tour. Still great every time though. New album in the summer is what I've heard.

This so cool. I'm so pleased by this story. I always liked Danny Carey. The Ohio angle is really . . . wow. That is coming out of left field, man. I had no clue Danny Carey was a Michigan fan. Or maybe just a Novak fan?
